Three minutes after ten is the time and you're listening to.

James O'Brien on LBC.

Very good morning, too.

I hope you well.

A bit cold out, in it? Crikey. And what'd you do? Do you have little things that you gauge the temperature by? Or are you proper grown up and you actually look at the numbers? You look at what the temperature is. Slippy pavements are a bit tricky, especially if they haven't cleared up the leaves. You can tell I'm getting old, can't you?

They clear up the leaves.

They turn the pavements into ice rinks.

What? tricky, especially if they haven't cleared up the leaves. You can tell I'm getting old, can't you? They clear up the leaves. They turn the pavements into ice rinks. What is it that you do?

made of Blamonge, and his latest contribution to public discourse is characteristically self-interested.

But he's been talking about working from home as well, and there are, I think, two or three other sources, all at conflict with each other. Some I'm saying it's the future. Some I'm saying it's not. Boss is apparently now cooling towards it while employees remain committed. But I'm not going to talk about that today. On the grounds that, that thing Nick was just doing with regard to this MP, Simon Clark. And in fact, that
